Easter Part 3: Easter Morning, Sticker Fun, and Easter Dinner

The Easter Bunny didn't know what to do. Should he hide some eggs with chocolate for Easter morning? But, what about Eli's stomach ache? He decided to hide some eggs, mostly empty, and he hid a few eggs with one M&M inside. We told the Easter Bunny we'd explain to Eli when he woke up that the Easter Bunny wanted to hide all the eggs with chocolate, but he knew Eli had a tummy ache...

When Eli woke up early on Easter morning, he walked out into the living room, saw the Easter basket and the eggs around the room, started crying and asked to go back to bed. Wow, you know Eli is sick when even the prospect of chocolate makes him cry. After cuddling and resting in bed for about an hour he decided to brave the Easter Egg Hunt.



He seemed better after the hunt and some breakfast, but unfortunately, it was too late to go to church. Instead, after making sure he no longer had a fever, Scott and Eli walked to the Lake Park while I slept. It had been a rough two nights in a row, and a nine month pregnant woman needs some sleep. After my nap, I walked about half way to the park and met them on the trail. We headed home, took a nap, and opened Easter cards. Two of his cards featured stickers inside. Eli happily decorated himself, me and Daddy with stickers.




Then, we headed over to Dendi's house for Easter dinner with the whole gang. The only pictures we ended up taking the whole night were of the Williams/Camping/Moore family. And, of course with that many people in the picture it's impossible to get everyone smiling and looking at the camera at the same time. Here's the best shot we got with our camera.


Eli did surprisingly well at dinner, but we did have to make a semi-early exit when he'd had enough. Fortunately, we all had enough time to eat a delicious dinner, yummy dessert and do some socializing. Eli's generally on the mend, but not quite himself yet, even now a few days later. Hopefully tomorrow, he'll be back to 100%.
